could someone provide me with a script to log into an ftp server, do a
couple of things and STAY logged in? this does its stuff and exits:
HOST=ddddd
USER=uuuuu
PASSWD=pppppp
ftp -n $HOST <<E
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
bin
hash
prompt
E
thanks for any pointers.

I think a big part of your problem is the policy specific to the server.
Some will automatically log you off after a short period of inactivity,
and you can't change that.

Nothing to do with timeouts. The script seems to force a logout at
script end.

Thats on the way : thanks. I can now log in using
ftp sitename.com
(ideally i wouldnt have to specify the remote site name either, but I
suppose thats why scripts exist).
BUT now I cant run the default settings I want such as bin & prompt :
well, there are command line parms for bin mode, but not for hash and
prompt.
Is there some sort of "default" settings for ftp?
The manual doesnt say anything unless I have missed it.
